Solve Thermal Equation using Matlab Code - Help Needed | Hello PDE

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving a thermal equation using MATLAB, specifically the partial differential equation (PDE) involving temperature (T) with respect to spatial variables (r, z) and time (t). The user seeks assistance in discretizing the equation, which includes terms for thermal properties of materials and specific parameters such as δ(t) = 76ns. The solution requires transforming the PDE into a system of algebraic equations suitable for numerical methods in MATLAB.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of partial differential equations (PDEs)
  • Familiarity with MATLAB programming
  • Knowledge of numerical methods for solving PDEs
  • Basic concepts of thermal properties of materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Research MATLAB's built-in functions for solving PDEs, such as `pdepe`
  • Learn about discretization techniques for time and space in numerical analysis
  • Explore the finite difference method for solving PDEs
  • Study the thermal properties of materials relevant to the equation
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, researchers, and students working with thermal analysis, particularly those using MATLAB for numerical simulations of partial differential equations.

Hi i Would like to solve the the following eqn using Matlab

Since I am new to Matlab, I would request u to help me in this regard
(∂^2 T)/〖∂r〗^2 + 1/r (∂T )/∂r+(∂^2 T)/〖∂z〗^2 = 1/α (∂T )/∂t+τ/α (∂^2 T)/〖∂t〗^2 - { (1+δ(t) )-(1+δ(t-tp) }*IoKa/k 〖exp( - 2r/σ^2 〗_^2)exp(-zka)

where δ(t) =76ns

Δz = 0.- 2.5
Δz = 2.5 - 50
Δr = 4

If Δz = 0.- 2.5, I have to use thermal properties of my material

if Δz = 2.5 - 50, I have to use thermal properties of glass.

Could u help me in this regards

I referred you to the other thread so you could read it, not to post there.

What you need to do is discretize te derivatives of time and space and reduce your pde to a system of algebraic equations that can be solved as shown in the thread mentioned before.

Show us what you've done and then we'll know how to help you.
